2011 Scheduling Note

The first quarter of 2011 is almost booked. I have only 3 session openings between January and March! I have really cut back how much I will be shooting in the new year so that I can spend more time at home with my family. In doing so, my goal is to do one full session per week. Mini sessions will no longer be done during the week, instead I will have 2 mini session events, one in the spring and one in the fall with multiple openings each weekend day. I may take on an extra mini here or there depending on how things are going at home, it just really depends. This year I am making every effort […]

just before forever…

Aimee emailed me Wednesday and said “I know this is a long shot, but I’m getting married on Friday….” and something in me jumped at it. Even though I don’t take weddings on. And even though I’m closed for the month. And even though it was a weekday and even though……

I love simple weddings, the kind that are about the two people and that moment and all the real stuff. Truth be told, I’ve been itching to photograph a wedding for well over a year. And while I normally refer all weddings out without a second thought or pang of regret, in the last couple of months I’ve had a few […]

2010, that’s a wrap

Sweet little Miss A. So fun to see how much she’s grown since her birth and newborn session. She rounds out my sessions for 2010….what a great year it was! I think I could blog a session every day for over a month and still not be caught up, I am so very behind in blogging! When you see her sweet face appear again, it means I’ve made some serious progress in blogging 😉

Thank you to all of my wonderful 2010 clients for entrusting me to capture your babies and families and births and simple moments and chaos and everything in between. It has been an honor.

they make my heart smile

So filled with love and grace and their hearts are just so, so big. I first met them last year as a part of a fundraiser with Mack & Sally Brown to benefit Cure Duchenne. I was lucky enough to get to help tell their story last year and am honored to do so again this year. We’ll be doing a photo shoot in a few months to prepare for the big event. Seeing them again tonight was meant just to capture a few fun and easy family shots before the holidays and it made my heart smile. Timmy is 7, just lost a front tooth, is so […]

1. I am thinking about opening up 2 last minute mini session spots for this coming weekend with guaranteed Christmas delivery. Any interest? Email me at lstradtner@mac.com for details!

2. My kids are so addicted to these right now. Especially Teagan. Obsessed.

3. This morning I stopped at my desk to pick something up and noticed there was still solid ice in my favorite cup that had been sitting from the night before. First, I thought to myself, wow, this cup really IS awesome. Second, I thought to myself, I wonder what time I actually went to bed…. Third, I thought to myself, I wonder if Ty did this to be sweet, he IS always bring me water refills. Turns out […]

Thank you.

Marti, Teagan’s OT, shared her knowledge, her experience, her skill, her patience, her love and most of all her prayers for our little guy for months. She shared her gifts with us and it has blessed us in so many ways. Teagan made it through some very dark days with her at his side. She never faltered, she never gave up. There is nothing we can ever say, or do, that will feel like enough of a thank you for all that she has done for him. And it wasn’t just her. Rob, Suzy, Andy, they all made sacrifices to share so much of her with us and we deeply […]
